Earpiece volume too loud (still)

I've re-flashed back to HyperROM because none of the others are as good..! There is a big HOWEVER in this, probably just for my situation it seems, but the ONLY reason I have bounced from ROM to ROM is due to the extremely loud volume present in HyperROM. It seems to be the only ROM I've used that exhibits this seemingly unique problem. But, it is so bad that I cannot use HyperROM. The volume comes out of my earpiece so loudly that everyone in my little office can hear everything like a little speaker phone. I do not have the "extra loud volume" enabled. It's even louder (of course) with that on.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this loud volume issue? I've posted the question higher up in this thread but have never seen an answer. I want to keep using HyperROM but it is dependent upon this earpiece volume problem I'm having.

Thanks!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] emtownsend:
Could a program like Viper work to lower volume output?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hyro864:
The only solution that has worked for me is while on a call, turning the volume all the way up then back down again. That lowers the output and make it sounds normal. It works for me with speakerphone, earpiece, and Bluetooth volume. I do not have viper or any other sound mod installed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] emtownsend:
Awesome! I'll give it a shot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cwalkin:
Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] emtownsend:
I believe this helped, but maybe just a little..?

What would cause louder volume in one ROM vs another, all else being equal? (Sorry to beat a dead horse, but it just cheeses me off that I have this one niggling issue on an otherwise GREAT ROM).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
townsend... we've been down this path before. haha. Check back to June 5 (page 410). I thought I was having deja vu.

This was the only issue I ever had with this ROM, as well. Well... I only had it installed for a few days, though, because it was such a deal-breaker.

I posted about it a few times (search me in this thread), and got a few suggestions and theories... but nothing material as to why it wasn't working. Perhaps the vast majority of people don't have the issue that we do. Perhaps we have some app on our phone that is messing it up for us. I'm leaning toward the fact that this ROM, at its heart, is based on a T-Mobile release, and not a verizon one. That may be a fallacy... but it's one of the few things that I can see that would really effect such a core function of the OS.

I'm thoroughly satisfied with BajaROM (and there have been 3-4 updates to it since May 11), but BajaROM is now defunct, in favor of the developer joining up with BeansTown, our savior who offered the NC2 leak with root. Thus... until their collaboration results in a new ROM, I'm on the prowl again. Every time I open the Development forum, I'm disappointed to see [MAY 11] in the title of this thread, knowing that the volume issue hasn't been fixed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] emtownsend:
Lol! So frustrating (and mysterious). Are you still on Baja?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
Yes... I am still on Baja, current version 16.1. No volume issues. It's based on NC2, I believe.

When bajasur returns with BeansTown and AllianceROM for the Note 3... it will be NC4-based.

How do I enable extra loud volume?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] emtownsend:
During a phone call, on the right side of the contact that appears during the call, there is an icon of a phone. It's the toggle for loud volume.

Please help

Ok I did something seriously wrong. Phone is bricked. Safestrap is now somehow disabled. My stock backup now doesnt work. The text for "stock rom" is red and not blue/green. When I try to restore back up it says "data failed"

Clearly I did something wrong....please help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] pprice520:
what exactly did you do
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] robfromga:
tried to install hyperdrive, it said the install was successful.

waited for the reboot and it never happened, it sat for 20 mins blacked out. I pulled the battery restarted it and no safestrap and no data in the recovery
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] pprice520:
Dang. I think your only option would be to Odin back to whatever you are on. Hopefully you didn't take anymore ota's
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] robfromga:
no clue how to do that
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] pprice520:
What firmware do you have, did you accept the over the air update to kit kat or flash the leaked one?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] robfromga:
4.4.2. The nc4 baseband. Some how the device restarted. I still have root, save strap is disabled...the device cleared out.

Couple things to note, when I dl'd the rom zip it took forever. Like an hour+. Borked download?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tw1n5nak35:
I finally was able to flash NC2 firmware and flashed hyperdrive 8 late this morning. Only issue I have is that the settings force close when I try to change the security settings. It's no biggie, will continue battery drain and performance test's. Thank you again for this rom, you did it again Sbreen :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hsuwal:
Thanks, Issue is just black screenas off

Can some one help me what I did wrong and how to solve this problem. This is my second time, Last time same thing happened so i have went back to original verizon stock using odin, phone works fine. I have tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2760380 ( JasmineROM v2.2 ) too same thing after rom installed just black screen I can see nothing If I turn off taking battery out and turn on back I see recovery mode with safestrap but don't boot to system. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Which version of kk are u on? Nc4? If so u need to odin the nc2 kernel directly after flashing the rom. Then it should boot.

Edit... also backup ur stock setup in ss before flashing hyper and u can restore in case of failure.

TaPpEd from my XpOsEd 4.4.2 NIII
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] robfromga:
I'm having the exact same issue now. How do you Odin to nc2?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Find the nc2 kernel here. Scroll down to nc4 instructions.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] robfromga:
Do I need to flash the full nc4 rom or just the kernel. Can I flash it through SS or do I have to odin in? Thank you again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
No just the kernel and use Hyperdrive for the rom. Kernel must be flashed in odin.

TaPpEd from my XpOsEd 4.4.2 NIII
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] robfromga:
Cool. Does it matter which one is flashed first?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
I'd flash the rom via ss then reboot to download mode via ss (without rebooting) flash kernel in odin then reboot and u should be good.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PwnFx:
I'm currently running RLS7, what are the steps to upgrade to RLS8?

So far I've gathered that I need to flash the NC2 kernel from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2787627 via odin.

There's just a lot of information regarding different situations and circumstances and I don't want to end up soft bricking and having a bad time lol.

Thanks in advance guys and gals!

[e] Does it matter which odin version I use? I just downloaded the 3.09 version.

Does it matter which safestrap version I'm running? I believe I currently have 3.71.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Since ur on 4.3 still follow the directions from here. And just use hyper instead of the stock rom...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726558

odin version shouldn't matter. Use the ss ur on to flash hyper the boot directly into odin from ss and flash the firmware in odin from that thread then update ss to 3.75 B04. ...

TaPpEd from my XpOsEd 4.4.2 NIII
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PwnFx:
So to be clear: Using the link to the thread you posted, follow those instructions to flash the newest version of hyperdrive over the stock slot or my current hyperdrive slot? - Using safestrap.

Then flash the NC2 kernel from the thread I posted.

Afterward, update my safestrap?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Yes u will have to flash hyper 8 or the stock kk nc2 rom on the stock slot. And then u MUST update the firmware to nc2 from the thread I posted. (That will update bootloader kernel and modem) not just kernel!! And then update ss on the stock slot.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] robfromga:
Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PwnFx:
So far it appears to be working on the stock slot, my only issue is that it will not install apps. It installed a few from restoring, and now it won't install anything else.

I have 20+ gigs of space available so it's not that.

Any ideas what could be causing the problem?

[e] I also can't send text messages, and it takes a while to receive them.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
Maybe check md5 on download and flash rom again. I'm not running hyper currently so I can't say for sure.

TaPpEd from my XpOsEd 4.4.2 NIII
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PwnFx:
Well, now I've hit another roadblock. I accidentally hit "Reboot Recovery" from the power menu, and I'm stuck in a loop where it loads the splash screen and says "Recovery Booting.." and it just loops over and over.

Have I bricked it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jrbxx7:
No pull battery. Reboot to download mode with the three buttons. Home+volume down (I think) + power then just hit cancel and it'll reboot.

TaPpEd from my XpOsEd 4.4.2 NIII
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PwnFx:
Well, I got it back up and running, but I am still having issues with texts. It's also running very slow and sluggish. Md5 checked out fine. Reflashed and no luck.

Perhaps it's because I'm running on the stock slot?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tw1n5nak35:
I have not flashed any of sbreens work on stock side. Even when I was on the droid bionic. I flashed wizzedbean and executioner to a rom slot. I've heard of many users who want the access to the full hard drive capacity and have had success. I know you can do it, and some others roms say specifically from the developer to run on stock side. For me, I have hyper drive on rom slot one. No issues for me so far, besides my signal @ work is just bad on MI9. Give it a try, maybe it might faster on a rom slot. Good luck and happy testing :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] cayers71:
I have Hyperdrive installed on the stock slot with no issues, other than an occasional FC or app error. Worlds better than the stock ROM, and no less stable than a CM nightly or RC build. Works like it should.

My setup: TR for root, SS 3.75, NC2 kernel, MJE baseband.

If you want to run on stock slot, Odin back to stock ROM, root, install NC2 kernel, SS 3.75, baseband of choice, then flash Hyperdrive. Worked for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] gollums:
Well jrbxx7 has been gracious to assist so far, but I will add to cayers71 that I have the same experience and setup. There only seem to be a few FC that I experienced, the most recent was trying out Themer. (Not a deal breaker since I still love Nova Prime and TSF shell anyway. )

The same setup worked for me, but I did have to install twice for some reason.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PwnFx:
I'll give this a shot I suppose, but this rom has been nothing but troublesome for me. RLS7 worked like a charm, but not this lol.

I just woke up from a 2 hour nap and my phone was overheated to the point that it was unusable, I had to power off and set it next to my window.

I also still lack the ability to send or receive texts. The rom itself is very unstable. I flashed "hltevzw_root_deodex_nc2" to the stock slot and it ran just fine, then installed RLS8 to slot 1 and still getting these issues.

I'll give your suggestion a try and see what happens from there.

Thanks.

I currently have a really annoying issue the "Press and hold screen to add items" message is constantly on all the launcher pages....what do?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PwnFx:
I'd just use a different launcher.

Otherwise, a quote from someone else on another forum:

"There is a way of doing it. From home screen, make like a clawing motion on the screen, and all the windows will show. At the bottom of the screen, a garbage can will be there. Drag the one that has that annoying sentence, and drag it to the garbage. (should turn red). Then when the screeen pops back up, it will be gone. There will be a plus sign, but when you hit home, it will be gone, and now you have a clean window."

And a seemingly much simpler one from a different user: "put any application Icon on the screen. Then remove the icon and the text will disappear"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Skidoo03:
Alright so I am about to flash RLS8 and just want to make sure that I have everything correct. I am currently on just the stock rom (4.4.2 NC4) rooted and nothing else. Do I just need to install safestrap, backup the stock rom, then create a new rom slot to install RLS8 on? I saw something mentioned earlier about someone having to flash the NC2 kernel but wasn't sure if I needed to also? Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] PwnFx:
I'm just having all kinds of bad luck.

Tried to odin back to stock, it half worked.

It made it stock, with the exception of not 100% overwriting the hltevzw_root_deodex_nc2 from a previous flash.

I must be a complete idiot.

I'm fighting with trying to install superuser after rooting with TR.

I'm having trouble installing apps in general.

Tried uninstalling market updates, etc, still no luck.

Ready to throw this thing under the fork truck at work lol.

Hyperdrive rls 8 has been my daily driver for months now i have had only a few of those issues can you go into the battery menu and either post a ss or tell us what the first couple battery hogging processes are.

There was a known issue with note 3s that they have wonky sd card media indexing.

If it is media server as the highest battery drain you need to pull the external sd card and empty it to your pc then let the phone see it blank. This should take care of the heating up and slowness.

What modem/radio are you using?

I have been sticking with nc4.

Did you load both of the patches?

Also i know hash got safe strap slots working i dont like bugs very much so i kept mine loaded to the stock slot i likely will not use the slots feature ever.

Also load set cpu and check the settings there by default the cpu is not allowed to go up to 2.3 ghz set the max to the max and then set the governor to ondemand and row scheduler.

Just created a 3rd rom slot for this and flashed the .zip some things seem to be working others give me the impression I have a bad flash.

Sorry for posting again I am just wanting to flash this ASAP and didn't get a reply earlier, thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Psychlone:
I think there's something with the NC2 modem that causes my MASSIVE battery loss. Let me explain:

I was one that ended up with the NC4 OTA (accidental, I had RLS7, rebooted into stock slot for some reason, and one of my kids did it when I wasn't around). I successfully did the towelroot method to gain root, installed the NC2 modem, RLS8 (from scratch - COMPLETE wipe).

I then waited for a while as Google imported everything it could, and I used TiBu to import everything that was missed (apps + data).

Everything was running smoothly for a while this way - everything worked (with the exception of the Security Settings that's a known bug and no big deal anyway) - at least I thought...

All of a sudden, I started getting HORRIBLE battery life - out of nowhere, my battery that used to last a full day needed to be charged 3 times in a single day.

Of course it's an app or something, so I installed Greenify (donation) and Wakelock Detector along with AppOps (module for Xposed) and took care of every single app I could find. I'm no newbie to Greenify, having paid for it the day it went on sale, and having used it previously.

I greenified EVERYTHING to no avail - my battery wouldn't last a few hours without draining, so I did a test - booted into my stock slot (which at this time, required me to Odin NC4 to stock after a complete wipe, towelroot, safestrap 3.75 and everything. After logging into my Google account and waiting for it to import, I installed TiBu and installed all the missing apps + data (exactly like I did before with RLS8) - and guess what? NO BATTERY DRAIN.

It's been 4 days now on the stock NC4 in the stock slot, and I'm getting a full 30 hours out of a full charge, every day.

Because I did everything the same exact way between RLS8 and NC4 stock, this leads me to believe there are only 2 possibilities.

1) RLS8

2) NC2 modem

Since everyone says that battery drain is not possible for it to be RLS8 and more likely a setting or an app, there's no other choice than to point the finger at the NC2 modem - BOTH were set up exactly the same ...every single setting was identical, so really, in my mind it can only be the modem that's causing this on my phone.

While I much prefer to be running RLS8, my battery life is far more important to me, and running stock doesn't hurt anything.

I just wanted to put this out there in case there are others that are having horrible battery life on RLS8 - it could be the NC2 modem that's required to run RLS8 if you're on the NC4 OTA.

(no need to stress about fixing it - I'll happily wait for RLS9 and the new "material" interface that's coming)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] tw1n5nak35:
Thank you for this info. I was wondering the same thing. My battery has been horrible..over 30% drain while im sleeping..so I flashed to NC4 modem last night..hopefully this will perform better than NC2. Im out of thanks for today..but thanks will be given tomorrow :D

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] robfromga:
You need to flash the nc2 kernel with Odin when after you install the room

Boot into safe strap

Select your room slot and load hyper drive

Boot into download mode

Odin in the nc2 kernel

Reboot system.

With stock I was able to send texts instantly, anywhere, even in bad service zones.

I stopped texting with this phone due to being unable to send texts in a timely manner.
